leave any media on the roll hanger. If any media is left on the
roll hanger, it can get dusty.

• Never raise the lever during printing. Raising the lever will
abort printing.
Notes on maintenance
• It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room
that is not dusty.
• Dust in the heads can also cause drops of ink to fall
suddenly down on the media during printing. In such a case,
be sure to clean up the heads.
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the
capping station and wiper frequently.
Handling ink bottles
• The safety evaluation of this machine assumes that the ink
recommended by this company is used. For safe usage of
this machine, use the ink recommend by this company.
• Never refill the ink bottles with ink. Refilled ink cartridge can
cause a trouble. Remember that MIMAKI assumes no
responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink
cartridge replenished with ink.
• If an ink bottle is moved from a cold place to a warm place,
leave it at room temperature for at least three hours before
using it.

Roll media
2
Use the media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-quality printing.
• Note that the media can shrink or stretch.
Do not use media immediately after unpacking. The media can shrink or stretch due to room temperature and humidity.
After unpacking the media, leave it in the place where the media is to be used for at least 30 minutes before installing it in
the machine.
• Do not use curled media.
Using curled media can cause paper jamming. When rolling regular-sized coated media for storage, make sure that the
coated side is facing outward.
• Dust may be accumulated on the edge of the media.
2
Depending on the roll you are using, the dust inside the package may be gathered on the edge surface of the roll. Using
dusty media can cause nozzle missing or ink drops that can lead to degraded printing quality. Remember to remove the
dust on the edge surface of the roll before installing it on the machine.
